a mechanical contraption that folds your mattress in half, so you can put the fitted sheet on the ends and let it unfold to pull it tight

if you have a murphy-style bed that folds away, just let it operate the folding mechanism separately from the other bit

the corners of the bed up against a wall can be a bit fiddly. the duvet is really easy, just get the two back corners and stuff them all the way to the corresponding corners of the duvet cover, then hold it by those corners and shake it a bit to distribute the rest of it.

reminder that the reason mint in-box star wars action figures are worth so much is that basically all the product at the time was bought, opened, and played with by kids that enjoyed those things. the fact that people enjoyed those things as kids is both the source of demand (from nostalgia-brained adults) and the reason for a very limited supply. any "collectable" that's sold as something you keep in the box and never open because that would make it less valuable is inherently a scam. there's a massive oversupply of mint-in-box copies, and absolutely nobody will have nostalgia for them to the point they're wanting to pay excessive amounts.

the question is whether banks can figure out how to borrow money through that program and then turn around and funnel it straight back into higher-yield treasuries. if they can then they will and then things will get interesting, otherwise it'll all just blow over.

raminasi posted:i genuinely don't understand your ideal model of depository banking. if i deposit money in a bank, and that bank fails, the government takes some of my other stuff and sells it to someone else, keeping the cash? literally yes, but only if you're somebody that they've marked as an Enemy of the State (i.e. a capitalist) they are a very naive and childish communist

Chalks posted:and we can agree that this is insane, right? making a bunch of businesses bankrupt because a bank failed is bad, and saying "but have you considered that the investors of those businesses are rich?" doesn't magic away all the other consequences of a decision like that? everyone except the person earnestly stating those opinions is probably in agreement, yes.

Beeftweeter posted:i think mila kunis is describing a state run bank, i.e. basically let the government hold on to deposits, extend loans if needed, guarantee withdrawals in any case, etc. they are describing an earnest belief that if your fart app startup had its payroll in a bank that failed, the government should take your fart app startup (or at least part of it) in exchange for returning your money to you.

the reason stocks have value is because they have the potential for a future payout. if there is no potential payout beyond "well maybe an even bigger fool will buy it off me for more than what i paid for it" then it's literally worthless. other speculative investments (like commodities) are different because there you're not just looking to sell to a bigger fool - the idea is that you'll eventually sell to someone who can use that commodity productively and is willing to pay money to acquire it
